Chaconne

from Partita II in D Minor for Violin

By Johann Sebastian Bach

I don't like the lavish transcriptions for piano of this "greatest piece ever written", so I bought this to play and enjoy Bach on the piano. I can sit down and easily get swept away by Bach's genius, and not feel like it's too sparse. This is...

downright soul-lifting, and I recommend it to other Bach loving piano players.

i have another score of chaconne. but, i don't like it. because it is not enough the harmony (chords) for me. i need more rich!!! so i bought the chaconne of segovia. it is very rich of harmony. not simple, so if you want play more easy, you must...

buy another chaconne. but if you want the sound of rich, you must buy it!!!

Segovia brilliantly adapted this movement from the Partita no. 2 for Violin solo. Arguably one of J.S. Bach's greatest works, and certainly one of the greatest classical pieces ever transcribed for guitar, the piece rewards the patience required to master it with a musical experience as rich as...

any in the repertoire, evoking descriptions not usually associated with the guitar: depth, majesty, grandeur, profound spirituality, holiness. Difficult? Very. But also gorgeous, deeply moving and like so much of Bach's unsurpassed canon, infinitely rich and renewable.

This is one of the best transcriptions of the Chaconne for the guitar, done by the great Segovia. The piece itself is wonderful, and it sounds very well on the guitar.

this has to be the best compositon ever for guitar.there are no words to explain the shear joy of hearing segovia at this beautifull work.
